That's not true if you do touch typing. Since you are using ordinary words you can type it quickly almost immediatelly without need to wait for muscle memory to develop. This way you get password which is both easy to remember and easy to type and at the same time is long enough. See Diceware method (http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html) if you are interested in this scheme.
- btilly 16y agoI disbelieve. I touch type at about 60 wpm. (Where your top is depends on your coordination, but for lots of people that is about the top.) Therefore it takes 5-6 seconds to type in an 11 word password. By contrast a frequently typed 11 character password typed from muscle memory takes no more than a second or two. That's substantially faster. In fact even when I'm still learning the password, I type it faster than I can type the original sentence.
